Operating instructions

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Your motor home is equipped with three electri-
cal systems:
the chassis 12-volt system
the Fleetwood 12-volt house system
the 120-volt
AC system.
They operate together to give you electrical
power for many different situations.

manual for the locations
of breaker and fuse
panels used in your
RV.

FLEETWOOD 12-VOLT HOUSE
AND AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEM
This system generally includes:
all 12-volt interior lighting fixtures & outlets
fresh water
pUIIlP
12-volt accessories
House batteries provide 12- volt DC power.
These batteries are not the chassis 12-volt
batteries. Power is also provided by a DC con-
verter that operates when the motor home elec-
trical cord is plugged into 120-volt AC power
source or by the generator (if equipped). The
house batteries are charged by the motor home
engine alternator, or by the converter when it is
operating.
til NOTE I
Power for living area radios and tape decks is avail-
able from either
the chassis or house batteries. A
switch on the instrument panel allows you to select
the power source. If you use the radio, tape decks, or
other 12-volt DC equipment for long periods
of time
when
the motor home engine is not running, either
battery may be discharged.
Batteries
Your motor home has two battery systems. One
system supplies 12-volt DC power to start the
vehicle engine and generator. The other system
supplies 12-volt
DC power to the house living
area.
